if i am not mistaken, tiermann, a dhow is more an arab / african vessel.
with their triangular (latin) sails they were the inspiration for the first portuguese XV / XVI century vessels, the "caravelas" that reached the tip of south africa, brazil, india and japan.
maybe this could mean the return of the arab sets - i would like it very much, being so compatible with my pirates...

Cachalote you definition sounds like  wikipedia  :P

Tiermann , that is interesting that you have been wanting to have a pet shop as i have been taking my time building one .  as soon as i get some more partsw from DS i will post pictures . The only thing is i really hate commercial pet dealers. Even in playmo land i hate to see all those animals locked up in cages.   :(

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

you are right rasputin, it sounds like wikipedia (i hope tiermann can forgive my stupid-know-it-all-thinks-he-is-very-smart tone) but only the picture comes from there.
i am an amateur sailor and like to know stuff about sailing boats.
the dhows are, unfortunately, one of the few legacies the arab culture left in portugal (my country).
also from wikipedia comes this picture from a chinese junk, the boat that, being made by playmobil, would really confirm the possible "asian" family.

meanwhile, and driven by customizer's posts, i decided to try and become a member of klickywelt.
i finally did it. i am probably registered as a chicken from jupiter, 78 years old, interested in ceilings but i don´t care.
i can now view all the images in the "Themenwelt: Piraten, Gardisten & Soldaten" thread and the "Playmobil Neuheiten" thread.
i have no idea what people are talking about but images are universal.
i just hope no one feels the need to talk to me...

 I also tried to log in but did not make it very far in the registration . I only speak English, Russian, and a little spanish. I am waiting for a Russian Forum . Well i guess they would have to first start selling Playmobil before any forum pops up .  :lol:

Now that Junk would be quite a nice piece. I remember some body making a custom junk and it just looks so in line with playmobil. Many of the molds could be reused . all the hand carts or the people carriers and maybe some day an asian city .

I'm a member and have no German (other than key fire brigade abbreviations and odd technical words, but even there a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!).  I limit myself to short sentences in English, plus a German translation using FreeTranslation.com and the emoticons, of which they have lots.  Sometimes I just use the emoticons.  When I post a custom, people may reply in English, German (often with a transalation) or in German plus using the emoticons, or just with the emoticons.  One way or another there is communication.  I'll PM you some useful phrases such as "Great work" you can just copy and paste if you like.  Some words are straightforward such as klasse and kool or cool.

I think, BTW, that if you're a member of klickywelt you are also a member of
http://www.playmo-convention.de/board/index.php?sid=8555b484ff105badf82d23b035f31c24

which does give instructions in English and, as the name suggests, is all about customs.

 :wow:
thanks playmofire, i much apreciate your help.
i didn't know about the extra membership with the playmo-convention.de - i have to try to find out what it is.
for now i will keep a silent eye in the german neuheiten.
 :)
for rasputin i think the question would rather translate 3 times 3 (9) instead of 3 once 3 (it's my only guess). ???
i also failed my first attempt with an incorrect answer too (something to do with animal names) but they allowed me a second try by confirming that i was seeing an image of a fire burning. 8}
with a lot of babel-fish translation (very tricky) i somehow managed to "get in".
i wish you luck (you will need it)...

Thanks for the tip! I was answering in English - golly I'm such a monoglot!

Third time I answered the question in German and got past the login page. Now I'm waiting for the email confirmation that I'm OK.

Two anti-spam questions seems a bit belt-and-braces, but they must have their reasons. Playmoboard has had a couple of spam adverts recently, so maybe (If there's anyone moderating, which seems at present unlikely) they'll have to tighten up security.

I have a common knowledge of the German language, but i couldn't make it past their first line of defence ???
I have typed in all they requested, 3 times 3 is 9 and yes i see a fire also i saw 4 blue lines, but no luck.
Nevermind, if they don't want my company then......it's their loss.
